I have a confession: I always have been and I probably always will be a picky eater. And to make matters worse, I have a ton of food allergies. So between my eternal pickiness and my loathsome allergies, it's difficult for me to have a well-balanced diet. I may have a novelty tee with the food pyramid on it, but it's for decoration only.
Pretty much every meal I eat is an act of defiance against my allergies. It's a game of Russian roulette. How many of these foods can I eat before I start to itch or cough? As an example: I like to eat Kung Pao chicken at some Asian restaurants. It generally contains snow peas, carrots, rice, peanuts, and chicken (with some yummy soy-chili type sauce). I'm allergic to peas, carrots, rice, and peanuts. That's everything but the chicken. Except technically I'm allergic to feathers, so even the chicken is questionable. So, you say, perhaps I should order a beer with dinner? Fantastic! How about a nice unfiltered wheat beer? It's made with wheat, oats, and yeast. Guess how many of those things I'm allergic to. If you said "every damn one of them," you're correct! And how about strawberry shortcake for dessert? Only if I want to turn into a giant strawberry-colored hive.
Allergies aside, when I say I'm picky I don't just mean a little bit. Let's use green as an example. In almost all cases, green is bad. It tastes like heartburn.
I will eat spinach raw or sautéed, occasionally in queso, but never creamed. Dark greens like arugula, watercress, or romaine lettuce are good, but never iceberg lettuce. I'd rather eat a sock. Avocados and limes are tasty (especially together with some garlic and cilantro—also allowed) but don't really count because they're fruits. Green beans are tolerable when sautéed with bacon and lots of garlic, but only then. Zucchini is only good in two recipes, but unfortunately I don't know either of them. Leeks are fine in the form of leek and potato soup. Cucumbers are okay only in the form of tzatziki sauce when eating authentic Greek food. Green tomatillos in the form of salsa verde are pretty tasty. Those are the only green exceptions. Green bell peppers are never okay. Not even a tiny sliver on the opposite side of a huge pizza. For your information, NO, I can't just take a slice without green peppers on it. One piece anywhere in the vicinity taints the entire pizza and renders it inedible.
I'm well aware this is a lot to process and to deal with, especially at mealtime. (Did I mention I eat every three hours? I either have a hollow leg or a tapeworm.) But my fiancé and I have struck a deal. I will taste any food once, as long as I'm not allergic to it, and in return he will not be offended if I don't like it, never eat it again, and complain loudly whenever it gets mentioned.
Recently he brought home Jack LaLanne's JLSS Power Juicer Deluxe Stainless-Steel Electric Juicer and as I made my fresh orange+apple juice, convinced me to add a carrot. Just for fun.
Carrots aren't on the no-fly list, so I agreed. Shockingly, it was good. I enjoyed the orange+apple+carrot juice so much that I made a second glass later that evening. In one evening I consumed four oranges, three apples, and two carrots. Normally I'd be lucky if I had that many fruits and veggies over the span of two or three weeks. It's incredible. I've been on the juice so much this week, the citric acid has actually made the inside of my mouth a little sore.
I feel healthier, I have more energy, and it's not even costing me $6 per 20 oz. corn syrup laden smoothie, either. I'm starting to think those dietary guidelines aren't just a load of BS after all. Together with his buddy Jack LaLanne, my fiancé managed to do what my mother couldn't in 24 years. For the first time in my life, I'm eating right. Screw you, Allergies! I'm making juice.
Left: two small apples, two oranges, two carrots, a handful of grapes.
Right: three carrots, two stalks of celery, two handfuls of grapes, one small apple.

Germany impressed the whole world with its World Cup performance. A historical 7-1 victory against Brazil and the final victory against Argentina. The Germans were showered with accolades. What a team. They're patient and methodical. No flash, but efficient playing. Therein lies the genius of the German culture: the practical and efficient before the esthetic.
But the Germans' greatest victory remains the reunification of the two Germanys after the Wall fell in 1989. Two diametrically opposed ways of thinking had to be merged: the capitalist mode and the communist mode. A colossal undertaking that is coming to a painful end. Many people believe that only Germans could overcome such an obstacle thanks to their cult of efficiency.
One building symbolizes this legendary exploit: the Reichstag with its famous glass dome.[……]

Whooping cough, or pertussis, primarily affects infants and young children. Pertussis causes intense fits or spells (paroxysms) of coughing that often end with the characteristic whoop as air is inhaled. Whooping cough causes coughing spells so bad that it is hard for infants and children to eat, drink, or breathe. These spells can last for weeks. In infants, it may cause periods of apnea (not breathing).
Whooping cough caused thousands of deaths in the 1930s and 1940s, but, with the advent of the pertussis vaccine, the rate of disease and death has declined dramatically. Recent epidemics have occurred in areas where vaccine rates have fallen. Even though pertussis vaccines are very effective, if pertussis is circulating in the community, there is a possibility that a fully vaccinated person can catch the disease. The vaccine's protection also wears off over time, meaning that adolescents and adults who have not had a booster may contribute to the spread of the disease during an outbreak.
Whooping cough is caused by the Bordetella pertussis bacterium. It is spread from person to person through droplets in the air (coughing and sneezing) and is highly contagious. Once the bacteria are in the child's airways, swelling of the airways and mucus production begins. Usually, the disease starts like the common cold, with a runny nose or congestion, sneezing, and sometimes a mild cough or fever. Usually, after one to two weeks, severe coughing begins.
Although the disease can usually be prevented with the vaccine, it is not 100 percent effective.
Whooping cough is worse for children under 1 year of age and is fatal is some cases.
In the U.S., thousands of new cases are reported each year.
The disease usually takes one to three weeks to incubate, with the child usually passing through three stages. The following are the most common symptoms of whooping cough, according to each stage. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. In infants, the cough may be very hard to hear. Infants may have a pause in breathing called "apnea" instead of a cough. If you notice this, you should call your child's health care provider or take your child to the hospital immediately. Symptoms may include:
Catarrhal stage (often lasts one to two weeks):
Mild cough
Low grade fever
Runny nose
Acute phase (may last for 1 to 6 weeks; can persist to 10 weeks):
Cough gets worse and comes in severe fits
Cough is dry and harsh
Cough ends with a whoop sound on inspiration
Child may vomit with the coughing and appear to be strangling on the vomit
Cough can be started by many factors, including feeding, crying, or playing
Recovery phase (weeks to months):
Vomiting and the whooping cough cease first
The cough usually decreases around the sixth week, but may continue on occasion for the next 1 to 2 months. Whooping cough used to be called the "100-day cough" because it can last for weeks to months.
Whooping cough can lead to pneumonia and other complications.
The symptoms of whooping cough may resemble other medical conditions. Always see your child's health care provider for a diagnosis.
In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, diagnosis of whooping cough is often confirmed with a culture (mucus, nasal secretions) taken from the nose.
Specific treatment for whooping cough will be determined by your child's health care provider based on:
Your child's age, overall health, and medical history
How sick he or she is
Your child's tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
How long the condition is expected to last
Your opinion or preference
In some cases, the child may be hospitalized for supportive care and monitoring. Sometimes, oxygen and intravenous (IV) fluids are needed until the child begins to recover. Antibiotic treatment may also be ordered by your child's health care provider. Depending on when they are started, antibiotics may not shorten the course of illness, but they will prevent the spread of infection to others.
Family members and other people who have been in close contact with the child usually are started on antibiotic therapy, regardless of whether they have received the vaccine or not.
Other treatment may include the following:
Keeping your child comfortably warm
Feeding your child small, frequent meals
Giving your child plenty of fluids
Removing things or preventing situations that cause coughing
Although a vaccine has been developed against whooping cough, which is routinely given to children in the first year of life, cases of the disease still occur, especially in infants younger than 6 months of age.
According to the CDC, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of cases of pertussis since the 1980s. The CDC recommends that children receive five DTaP shots for maximum protection against pertussis. A DTaP shot is a combination vaccine that protects against three diseases: diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis. The first three shots are given at 2, 4, and 6 months of age. Between 15 and 18 months of age, the fourth shot is given, and a fifth shot when a child enters school at 4 to 6 years of age. At regular checkups for 11- or 12-year-olds, a preteen should get a dose of Tdap. The Tdap booster contains tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis. All adults over 19 who haven't received the Tdap should have a dose, as should all pregnant women in their third trimester or every pregnancy, even if they have had the Tdap previously. Adults should then have a Td booster every 10 years but shouldn't wait to get Tdap if they recently received a Td booster. Always see your child's health care provider for advice.

Libor-scarred Barclays names new chairmanAugust 9, 2012: 2:54 PM ET
Barclays, the bank most tarnished by the unfolding scandal over the manipulation of Libor rates, has wrapped up the first step in its quest to track down a new CEO.
Barclays (BCS) named Sir David Walker, a financial and U.K. regulatory industry veteran, to succeed Martin Agius as the bank's chairman. Agius recently told investors that the bank would appoint a chairman before choosing a new CEO.
Agius resigned, and then resumed the chairmanship on an interim basis, after Bob Diamond stepped down as Barclays' CEO last month.
In late June, Barclays agreed to pay $453 million to U.K. and U.S. regulators to settle its role in manipulating Libor, used to set rates on an estimated $10 trillion of loans worldwide, including adjustable-rate mortgages, credit card rates and other small business and consumer loans.
Related: Barclays CEO job may be tough sell
A spokesperson for Barclays declined to comment on the timing of naming a new CEO.
Ahead of his appointment to the chairman role at Barclays, Walker served as a senior adviser to Morgan Stanley (MS), where he also served as chairman. He's also held senior roles at Lloyds Bank, the Bank of England and served at the helm of several U.K. bank regulatory bodies and commissions.
As Walker helps the board of directors choose a new CEO, Agius gave a nod to holding Barclays together.

"[Sir David Walker] will be taking over at a time when Barclays universal banking model is delivering a strong performance in difficult markets," said Agius in a statement.
Walker said his first task, which won't be an easy one, will be to find a new CEO. He officially takes over as chairman on Nov. 1.

On a warm, sunny Saturday morning a game of baseball was being played. Some players needed some help along the way, but no one needed help having fun.
On a warm, sunny Saturday morning a game of baseball was being played at Thayer Field. Some players needed some help along the way, but no one needed help having fun.
On Saturday, June 14, in the final game of the Challenger Baseball League's inaugural year, physically and mentally challenged kids ages 5-16 took turns playing the field and hitting the ball.
Joe Kennedy, involved with Lancaster Little League since 1993 and having retired in 2007, started calling parents and recruiting players and "buddies" to play alongside them this February. His 16-year-old son P.J., who has Down syndrome, is a league member.
"It's fun because you get to help kids who have never played baseball before," said 9-year-old Andrew Pasquale of Lancaster, who was P.J. Kennedy's buddy.
The season culminated with Saturday's game, which included an appearance by SpongeBob SquarePants singing "Sweet Caroline" and pitching to several batters; players, buddies and parents lapping down ice cream in a post-game celebration; and players being handed trophies.
"It's all about having fun and there's a lot of great smiles," said Kennedy.
Twenty-one players signed up for the Little League-sanctioned Challenger squad, hailing from Central Massachusetts towns including Lancaster, Clinton, Bolton, Stow, Lunenburg, Maynard, Princeton, Worcester, Boylston, Groton and Leominster. The league played a game every Saturday morning for six weeks, starting May 10.
Besides players, there are roughly 20 "buddies" that participate each week, including students from Nashoba Regional High School and kids from the Lancaster Little League and neighboring town leagues. Kennedy said he meets at least one-on-one coverage between buddies and Challenger players. Players and buddies can come and go as they like, as the league doesn't require commitments. The game does not follow traditional baseball rules, and players are encouraged during and after each at bat."There's no strikes," said Challenger player Brandon Nauman.
Kennedy said he gives players the option of hitting a ball off the tee or from his underhand tosses.
"Everyone hits, runs the bases, steals," he said. "We have a special ball that makes a beeping sound for the blind boys, so they know when to swing. The kids hold onto a float on a rope [to run to first base]. Two people hold it and it leads the blind children to the base."'A different atmosphere'
Sophomore Nashoba baseball player Zachary King of Lancaster said he was inspired by the league.
"It gives them a chance to see what it it's like," said King of the players.
King and junior high school player Dan Heffernan from Lancaster said they held the nylon rope along which blind players could run to each base.
Fellow high school player Alex Doucette, a sophomore from Lancaster, was also at his first game. He said helping the Challenger players was completely new experience for someone used to the highly competitive high school leagues.
"It takes some of the pressure off, I guess," he said. "This is just for the kids. They don't have as much as some other people do."Doucette was partnered with player Ryan Reardon of Lancaster.
Twelve-year-old Matthew Mudgett of Lancaster, who plays in Lancaster Little League, has attended every game. He was buddied with Nicholas Giovinazzo of Stow, and now also helps Reardon make his way down the base path.
"Most of the kids that do it are from my school, and we'll hang out afterwards," said Mudgett. "We fit together like a team and I compare them to teams that work very hard. I've learned respect, loyalty and to help people when they need it."
Robert Falvey, a junior high school player from Lancaster, also attended one week of the Challenger League.
"It was a different atmosphere and everyone was having so much fun. It allowed me to take a step back from all the competitiveness and see how fun the game can really be," he said. "One kid bunted and he ran around the bases for a homerun. Everyone was laughing and joking, it brought everyone together."
Although he was not buddied with anyone specifically, Falvey helped hold the rope for blind players and helped several players bat. He said the experience taught him a valuable lesson.
"It taught me not to take anything for granted," he said.
'These kids are all smiles'
Clinton resident Robyn Yalian, whose son Tyler plays on the team, was appreciative of the league.
"He loves sports and things that are outside," said Yalian. "Social situations are hard for him. To be accepted for who he is, to let him be a 10-year-old kid, this allows him to do that. There's positive reinforcement. To have that, and not have someone telling him he's doing things the wrong way, is huge."
Yalian said she was thankful her son could play in a league that did not judge him for his motor disabilities. Tyler has attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, a central auditory processing disorder, sensory processing disorder and anxiety disorder.
Mary Murtland of Lancaster, speaking of her 12-year-old son Paul, who has Down syndrome and is also part of the program, said she is also satisfied with the program.
"He's outside, moving around and playing with his siblings and kids he's comfortable with," she said. "I can't find a thing I don't like about it, let's put it that way."
Murtland said Paul, who also has vision problems, was more comfortable with the local league.
"We've been in other Challenger leagues, [but] what we liked about this one more is there are more kids than adults," she said. "There are regular kids there, too. Paul can watch them and learn from them."
David Reardon, father of 16-year-old Ryan Reardon, who is blind, credited Kennedy for starting the league and for the joy kids receive from the event.
"These kids are all smiles, they really have a blast out there. They go to school and they talk about it like a million other kids in this country," said Reardon.
With a big smile on his face after the game, Ryan was also thankful."I love it, I love hitting the ball," he said.
Paul Giovannazzo, father of 12-year-old Challenger player Nicholas Giovinazzo of Stow, sees positives in the present and future for players and buddies.
"This is awesome, the wide range of kids here will remember this," he said. "The other thing that impresses me is the maturity of their buddies, they're going a long way in life."
Kennedy said the program was successful enough to run next year, from mid-May to mid-June. He said he will advertise the league in newspapers and on lancasterlittleleague.com.

Vegan Pumpkin Spice Twinkies and What's In My Fridge
Autumn is among us, boys and girls. That delightful time of year when the leaves morph from laundry-fresh green to deep warm hues, and the crisp breeze in the air leaves your little cheeks redder than the pinches from your old Jewish Auntie. Or if you live in L.A. like I do, it's really just the time of year people get grumpy again, and you can buy mad cheap giant bags of holiday-themed candy at Vons. But I digress...
Growing up in Ohio, I was spoiled rotten with annual trips to White House Fruit Farms. I kick myself all the time over how much I took this place for granted. It's a gigantic fruit farm situated in the rural area just outside of Youngstown, and it's purely magical. Fresh picked apples and cider, pumpkin picking, hayrides and blueberry donuts that will make your teeth ache with their sugary goodness. If anyone knows of a place like White House within 4 hours of L.A., please let me know. Until then, the Vegan Pumpkin Spice Twinkies will just have to satisfy my nostalgic longing for the "Taste of Fall". And yes, Vegan Spotters. I'll be starting to sell my themed Twinkies at the restaurant soon :)
First up, Soy Bleu is AMAZING. We used to carry it at Jax, but up until two weeks ago, I'd never seen it in stores. Low and behold, when the new Venice Whole Foods opened a few weeks ago, there it was...gleaming in the fake cheese section like a beacon of faux magic. I bought one package, fully knowing I should have bought two. When I went back a few days later, they were out :( Lucky for me, one of the employees saw me staring sadly at the empty space on the shelf where it should be, and reserved a few packages for me from the next shipment. Thanks Whole Foods Lady!
Delicious Fantastic Amazing. As Emiril would say, this beverage really helps my AM coffee "kick it up a notch", as well as my Chai Tea Lattes. It reminds me of a less concentrated, less sweet version of Coffee Mate Hazelnut Creamer. I believe there are other flavors of the Rice Dream Supreme line, but once I saw the Hazelnut, I had eyes for no other.
Thanks for reading ;) There will be a new recipe post either today or tomorrow.

Suffolk GOP hardly obeying Reagan dictate
Even Suffolk's staunchest Republicans acknowledge it's bad for their brand when the party's longest-serving elected official calls his county chairman a failure, prompting the chairman to dismiss the attack as "practically incoherent."
"You don't go public with that kind of stuff," said county Legis. Tom Barraga (R-West Islip), who has also held posts at the town and state levels in more than 30 years in politics. "As [Ronald] Reagan once said, 'Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican.' It hurts the party."
But political experts and insiders are divided over the true, combined impact of the recent spat between Smithtown Supervisor Patrick Vecchio and Suffolk GOP leader John Jay LaValle, as well as other prominent intraparty dust-ups in Islip and Brookhaven towns.
Some veteran Republicans say the confluence of controversies is an embarrassment, no matter the circumstances. Others note that the county and town GOP have a history of turmoil, with the infighting mattering only as much as the most recent election result.
The latter played out last week in Brookhaven, where the slow response to the Feb. 8 blizzard that left 30 inches of snow caused town GOP leaders to trade blame and raised interest in a special election for highway superintendent. Republican Councilwoman Kathy Walsh had joined the Independence Party and gotten Democrats' endorsement to take on the GOP candidate, Assemb. Dan Losquadro of Shoreham. Walsh lost by 832 votes, not counting absentee ballots.
"People don't vote on which party is the tidiest," said former County Executive Steve Levy, a Republican who defected from the Democratic Party in 2010. "The only way it has an impact is if the two people who are fighting end up splitting the vote in a general election."
That could happen this fall in Smithtown. Vecchio has been town supervisor since 1978, but last month he was formally challenged by Councilman Robert Creighton, a former Conservative Party member. LaValle publicly disparaged Vecchio's government as a "laughingstock" in endorsing Creighton.
Strong words exchanged
That prompted Vecchio's Feb. 26 letter to LaValle that assailed the county party's results under his watch: "It is mind-boggling that you, with your failed electoral record, have the temerity and audacity to come into Smithtown and endorse a candidate," Vecchio began. He noted that county executive Steve Bellone is a Democrat and 13 of Suffolk's 18 legislators vote with that party.
LaValle replied by calling Vecchio's tone "offensive and immature," reiterating his desire to see him defeated.
"The infighting does nothing to advance the Republican Party, or for that matter, good government," said the county legislature's minority leader, John M. Kennedy Jr. (R-Nesconset). "There are important things going on, make no mistake about it. We want good GOP candidates and to take back the legislative majority. That's the stuff I want to focus on. Not nipping at each other's heels."
Islip may be the next test of how short voters' memories are. In January, Republican council members tried to stage a coup against Republican Town Supervisor Tom Croci, introducing a resolution that would have stripped him of much of his control. Sources said the effort was retaliation for Croci not complying with Islip GOP chairman Frank Tantone's demands for patronage jobs. Tantone denies the allegations.
Public opinion seemed to be with Croci, and the proposal was abandoned, to a standing ovation, at a town meeting last month. Two council members who supported the measure, Trish Bergin Weichbrodt and Steven J. Flotteron, are up for re-election in November.
"It was nothing which affected taxpayers," said Michael Dawidziak, a Bohemia political consultant who works mostly with Republicans. "The only question is, will it spill into a primary? If it doesn't it's largely forgotten by Election Day."
But looking at individual situations as the sum of Suffolk GOP's problems misses the bigger picture, said Paul Sabatino, a Republican who has held high-level appointed positions with both the county executive and county legislative offices.
The party missed a "historic opportunity" by cross-endorsing Democratic Suffolk District Attorney Thomas Spota this fall and not running a candidate who would bash the state court decision that dismissed the county's term limits law and allowed Spota to again seek office, Sabatino said.
Instead, he added, the Suffolk GOP Committee has created a culture whereby any candidate who sees an inside challenge feels he or she can get cross-endorsed and buck leadership.
'History of infighting'
"There's no Republican brand in Suffolk anymore," Sabatino said. "Nothing unifies them, so it becomes cannibalization. They all turn on each other and eat each other alive."
That's always been the case, said Stanley Klein, an LIU Post political science professor and Huntington GOP committeeman. "Republicans in Suffolk have a long history of infighting," he said.
Suffolk Democrats, on the other hand, tend to resemble Nassau Republicans, in that it's rare to see anyone question the county leader, Klein said. A recent example came in Huntington, where Suffolk County Water Authority chairman James Gaughran, a Democrat, publicly mulled a run against his party's supervisor, Frank Petrone. But he quickly backed down at the urging of county chairman Richard Schaffer.
"With the Democrats in Suffolk, the big umbrella over the towns tends to rule," Klein said. "With Suffolk Republicans, individual spokes of the umbrella tend to go their own way. You can win elections that way, but it's tougher."

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — T.J. Bard, a senior majoring in economics and political science in the College of the Liberal Arts, has been named the 2013 recipient of the Eric A. Walker Award.
The award is presented annually to the student who has contributed most to enhancing the reputation of the University through extracurricular activities. Walker was president of Penn State from 1956 to 1970.
As 2011-12 University Park Student Government president, Bard worked with 42 representatives and a $140,000 budget to increase student involvement. He served as student representative to the Board of Trustees as well as on the Student Activity Fee Board and as a Penn State Alumni Association Executive Board member. He helped found the State Patty's Day Task Force, aimed at reducing student participation and arrests on that day, including residence halls limiting visitors and local bars closing for the day.
Following November 2011 events related to the Jerry Sandusky scandal, Bard made more than 600 appearances and interviews in media including The New York Times, CNN, "Good Morning America" and "Today." He helped create and host the first Penn State Student Town Hall event with Penn State President Rodney Erickson and senior administrators.
"In all situations, he represented the very best of what it is to be a Penn State student — articulate, poised, concerned, compassionate and caring," one nominator said.
A member of Beta Theta Pi, he also served on the 2011-12 Homecoming Executive Board and is vice president of communications for the Interfraternity Council Executive Board. He received a 2012 North-American Interfraternity Conference Undergraduate Award of Distinction.

Tips To consider before buying home security system in New Jersey
- Immediate Response
Two major costs for a home security system are the monitoring and the installation. How do you want your security to operate, do you want it to alert you or the security company who will then contact the emergency personnel in case of an emergency? While the former is cheaper, the latter is advisable because the efficiency of a security system is only as good as it's response.
You will also want the security system to notify you on the smartphone or other internet enabled devices when you're out of our house. Other features include those for personal security because what happens if you aren't able to reach your phone when an alarm has been set off? Many home security companies offer accessories such as a bracelet or a pendant that you can have handy, these will immediately contact the emergency personnel for you. This is especially helpful for those who are old or living alone.
- More than a burglar alarm
Yes, you need a burglar alarm but is that all? Additional features such as alarms for environmental emergencies like earthquakes, tornados, etc and other instances such as carbon monoxide and fires are also highly recommended. Asset protection system that alert you when your assets (e.g. jewellery box, safe, painting, etc) have been tampered or moved is also advisable if you possess valuable assets.
3.Contract and Camera Concerns
When choosing a home security service provider in Vernon, choose one with a good reputation and who have been around in the business for at least 10 years. Read the customer reviews and consider the warranty, installation and monitoring terms in your contract. There is often a premium deduction available for home owners for installation of home security, ask you insurance carrier about the same. You should also look for systems that offer an ease of upgrading and downgrading the system. Wireless systems are often easier to install and don't involve any drilling of holes, it is also recommended to look into the clause that covers installation of home security if you shift.
Don't buy cheap retail webcams that are used for video chatting, buy ones with dome cameras and bullet styles. Think about whether you want to view the live view of your house (IP view) or the recorded view (DVR). Ensure the image quality, image type and the range of view is good.
- Personalized
There's no universal size or style when it comes to home security, consider your own needs, budget and home automation requirements, most home security systems run even in a power outage and if you're looking for a greener option you have the slightly more expensive but sustainable alternative of a solar powered system.

News reporters had a tough time during this year's mayoral race finding political scientists or pundits who thought top challenger Ben Hall was running a good campaign. They kept saying his strategy was off, that he was spending money on the wrong things at the wrong times.
The vote tallies Tuesday night seemed to prove that, with Mayor Annise Parker winning reelection to a third and final term with 57 percent of the vote, more than double Hall's total.
Now that the dust has settled, I thought I'd crunch the numbers to see how different the candidates' spending patterns were. And when you break it down by category (as they're required to do in their campaign finance reports), at first blush the answer seems to be "not much."
Here's a pie chart breaking down Mayor Parker's spending:
And here is chart breaking down Hall's spending:
You'll see the top three categories are the same, and in fairly similar proportions. I realize the colors may confuse the differences in the rest of the categories, so here is link to a spreadsheet that breaks down the numbers, and below is a summary of that data (also page two of the spreadsheet):
The largest discrepancy came in the category of advertising, but the appearance that Parker spent a lower share on ads is misleading, because she was up on TV for weeks pounding Hall with attacks ads while Hall managed only a limited response late in the game. So why does it look like that?
The answer is that Parker bought a lot of her TV time earlier in the year, when the purchase price was lower. The chart below proves that — check out Parker's July total and note that the vast majority of that amount ($600,000) was a large TV ad buy. (Details here.) Indeed, Hall's campaign staff said buys often were made within days of airing, driving up the price of those purchases and limiting the bang for the buck.
The second-largest gap in the chart between the candidates came in donations made by the candidates. Parker made very few, while Hall made a lot (mainly to political, charitable or religious groups). Again, refer to this spreadsheet for more details. The third-largest gap came in polling expenses. Here, I would assume that Hall did polling but did not categorize it under "polling expenses" as Parker did.
Finally, here is a spreadsheet breaking down all of Tuesday's key city election results (not all candidates are listed, just those who won, made runoffs or were close to making runoffs).
The second page of that spreadsheet shows the turnout in the county, city, and by council district. Roughly 18 percent turnout in the city was an improvement, if you can believe that. Countywide, it was 13 percent.

Naughty or nice... which list are you on? 3:00 pm
I've got bad news for you. This year, you didn't make it into the Big Guy's book. That's right, you didn't score a place on the nice list. But that's where I come in. My name's Burt, and I'm a bit of a North Pole rebel. You see, I think that people who were so close to making it on the Nice List deserve a chance. And you're in luck, because I know where it's stored.
That's why I've brought you to the reindeer stable. If you can make it through the puzzles I've laid out, find the nice list, and put your names on it, Santa will make a stop at your house Christmas Eve. But you've only got one hour before Santa gets back from his test flight and catches you. Then it's the Naughty List for sure! Good luck!
Burt, out.

Meet The Expert
Rob Salamida began the business when he was 16 years old by cooking Spiedie sandwiches on a charcoal grill in front of a local tavern to earn college money.
After more than a year of letter writing, he finally convinced the New York State Fair officials to allow him space for an outdoor booth. At the time, he was the youngest person (19) to ever have his own food concession on the Syracuse Fairgrounds. Every summer for 12 years he built his reputation with the much sought after Spiedie sandwich. During one memorable year, a visitor at the Fair spent the entire day between the Spiedie booth and the beer tent and consumed 52 Spiedie sandwiches.
Since then you can now find Salamida Sauces and Marinades beyond the Greater Binghamton region at over 1,100 supermarkets across the United States.

The bottle can be opened once per day. When opened, the efreeti imprisoned within issues from the bottle instantly. There is a 10% chance (01–10 on d%) that the efreeti is insane and attacks immediately upon being released. There is also a 10% chance (91–100) that the efreeti of the bottle grants three wishes. In either case, the efreeti afterward disappears forever. The other 80% of the time (11–90), the inhabitant of the bottle loyally serves the character for up to 10 minutes per day (or until the efreeti's death), doing as she commands. Roll each day the bottle is opened for that day's effect.

Ok, the title says it all.
It was bound to happen sooner or later. After riding that vicious ufo catcher circle of stuffed toys and chocolate, I have finally turned to the dark side and I set my sights on the little talked about phenomenon of the hentai doll.
These manga dolls have various states of undress, costumes and suggestive poses.
Strangely enough it's the guys (the ones that hang out in Akihabara) who seek these out, jealously guarding their new prizes.
I want to say that in these politically correct times that men can play with
dolls, I mean "action figures", if they want to. Just don't make me think what they might do with them once they get home. I guess there is always Gundam for the "real" men out there.
So, yes I found two undiscovered UFO catchers on the south side of Shinjuku station. There was a machine that had these for 100 yen a go and the one I saw was tantalisingly hovering over the edge of the chute.
After four goes I got it. It would have been three, but because there was an non-functioning third button I misunderstood how it worked on the first try. So yes, I jealously guarded it and put it in my backpack before anyone would yell out, "Hentai!!"
I can now see my mother and father rolling their eyes thinking that their son has finally lost it. Mi dispiace Mamma.
I walked over to Kabuki-cho. I was going to check out a few catchers that I haven't been to in a while. Yes that's right, just the catchers!
I moseyed into Macca's to use an expired free coffee coupon. Luckily they never check the date on the back unless you have it upside down. In these freezing nights even a hot coffee from Macdonalds is welcome.
I got the call from the gf saying she was in Shinjuku so my plans evaporated and we checked out accessories and dresses before heading on back.
Dinner was quickly decided once it was established neither of us wanted to cook. (I cooked an excellent salami and provelone cheese pasta last night by the way). The gf had a 1000 yen discount coupon to Onyasai, a Shabu-Shabu restaurant in Yotsuya.
Tonight is my first time to eat Shabu-Shabu. It's similar to a yakiniku except instead of frying the thin meat yourself, it magically cooks in boiling seaweed water and spicy tantan soup.
It's great to try something new, but I prefer yakiniku, mostly because the gf tried to stuff me with boiled veges and tofu rather than the meat I needed to grow big and strong!
Still, it was tremendously filling for about 2000 yen each of "all you can eat" goodness in two hours.
The only question now remaining is, "Is this the last of the Hentai dolls?" Stay tuned.

Shabu-Shabu And A Haruhi Doll

Gerald Durrell likened Madagascar to "a badly presented omelette", observing that "like all the best omelettes, well or badly presented, it is stuffed with goodies". He wasn't wrong. The world's fourth-largest island packs a huge ecological punch: 80 per cent of its flora and fauna is endemic, from lumbering, goggle-eyed chameleons to giant jumping rats and lolloping lemurs, and most of it is harmless and easy to view up close. Often overlooked in favour of higher-end destinations, such as the Seychelles and Mauritius, Madagascar is a great option for an adventurous Indian Ocean break; the terrain is incredible, the pace of life mora mora ("slowly, slowly") and cultural life revolves around a fascinating system of ancestral worship and fady (taboos).
The patchwork of misty rainforest on the island's east coast makes for a great introduction to the country, offering guaranteed lemur sightings and coral-strewn waters. Domestic security has improved since the country's 2009 coup – Britain has announced the reopening of its embassy in the capital, Antananarivo (known locally as "Tana"), in 2013 – but you'd still do well to check the latest advisories before you travel. Below are our suggestions for a relaxed two-week visit.
Masoala National Park
Perched in the far northeast of the island, Masoala National Park is the country's largest protected park and most diverse primary-rainforest area, unique for its combination of forest and coast. Soaring trees with oversized buttress roots covered in creepers and orchids reach all the way down to exquisite, sandy beaches, where humpback whales appear in the water and volcanic rock formations scatter the shore. Accessed by a flight and boat trip from Tana, the national park isn't easy to get to, but it's undoubtedly worth the journey.
Of the string of remote lodges that run along the coast here, Tampolodge is arguably the best-placed: it sits on a fabulous beach, and adjacent to the beautiful Tampolo river estuary. Here you'll spend your days walking with a dedicated guide who will help you spot handsome red-ruffed lemurs, enormous, vividly coloured Parson's chameleons and, if you're lucky, the cartoon-like, blue-beaked helmet vanga – a real prize for keen twitchers. Between day and night walks, you can cool off with a snorkel along the edge of the nearby marine park, which is inhabited by stingrays, dolphins and lionfish. Or you can take a trip to the nearby small island of Nosy Mangabe, where you'll be in with a chance of glimpsing the curious aye-aye, a distinctive-looking lemur with saucer-sized green eyes and tarantula-like fingers.
Andasibe-Mantadia National Park
Just a three-hour journey east from Tana, you are guaranteed to see troops of indris in Andasibe National Park. These toddler-sized lemurs have bear-like faces, long, powerful, black-and-white limbs for springing through the trees and a piercingly loud, echoing call that sounds like air escaping from a giant balloon. Don't miss the excellent night walks around the fringes of the park, when well-informed guides direct your torchlight to the glowing eyes of tiny nocturnal mouse lemurs, as well as sleeping chameleons with curled tails. Neighbouring Mantadia National Park, which has even fewer tourists, is the best place to witness the stunning diademed sifaka, a lemur with vivid red eyes, auburn-and-white fur and an elegant gait. Vakona Forest Lodge is the most comfortable accommodation option in the area, and has its own river island where you can hold and feed affable ex-pet lemurs.
Madagascar's capital, Antananarivo, will almost certainly be your first point of entry and it's likely that you'll return here between each leg of your journey too. A patchwork of paddy fields, colonial buildings and clay houses, Tana is a pleasant place to explore on foot and do some shopping. Home to an increasing number of fine-dining restaurants, the city is a mouthful in more ways than one, offering excellent French-influenced cuisine, as well as local specialities, such as hearty zebu steaks. It is also home to a good crop of historic, boutique hotels, such as the Pavillon de l'Emyrne, which offers guests a free daily massage, and the exquisite Lokanga Boutique Hotel, which affords spectacular views over jacaranda-fringed Lake Anosy.

NEA Supports Educator Tax Relief
NEA supports expanding the educator tax deduction because it recognizes the sacrifices made by educators who work in America's public schools. Many teachers and education support professionals reach into their own pockets to ensure that classrooms have adequate books, pencils, paper and art supplies.
- Educators are spending more of their own funds each year to supply their classrooms with essentials such as pencils, glue, scissors and facial tissues.
- NEA's 2003 report, Status of the American Public School Teacher, 2000-2001, found that teachers spent an average of $443 a year on classroom supplies.
- The National School Supply and Equipment Association found that in 2005-2006, educators spent out of their own pockets an average of $826 for supplies and an additional $926 for instructional materials -- for a total of $1,752.
- NEA supports legislation to make the educator deduction permanent, increase it to $500, and expand it to cover professional development expenses.

Since my last post was back in July, I thought it was time for a new update. Fall has come and is nearly gone already! We went up the canyon to enjoy some of the pretty leaves before they were all dry and brown. It's been really nice to finally have some cooler weather. That being said, I don't know how ready I am for winter to come. Do y'all realize it's November already and mr. baby is going to grace us with his presence in only 3 short months?! Oh yeah...and I don't know if I posted about that either. We are having a boy! Baby brother is on his way and the girls are getting excited! We're going to name him Gabriel and when we talk about him, we call him Gabe. Jocelyn calls him "Gave", though, and although I've corrected her plenty of times, she is persistent and insistent that it is Gave, not Gabe, and that Gabe would be just a silly thing to call a baby brother. So, as Rob's sister Lindsey pointed out to me, Jocelyn called baby Ava, baby "Aba", and is now calling baby Gabe, "Gave". I'm not sure what went wrong there. Things straightened out for Ava though, so hopefully baby brother will get to be called by his real name some day too.
We are doing great these days. Rob got a really great and unexpected bonus at work, just because he is so awesome. His game, Plasma Cannon (Available exclusively to Palm Pre owners), has done great. He is almost up to 1000 sales and he won a $1000 Palm/HP credit in a contest for how well his game has done! We are really excited for him. Jocelyn is in desperate need of some socialization, and so come January I think we're going to try to put her in a preschool (when the new semester starts--who knew preschool had semesters?!) Ava is a little stinker and its lucky that one year olds are the cutest because that's the only thing that's saving her from a good bum paddling. She has started nursery at church, and because Jocelyn is still in there until January I thought the transition would be easy for her. I spoke too soon apparently because I am in there for the full two hours to avoid a tantrum that the nursery leaders have made it very clear, they do not want to handle. I'm sure she would do fine if she could just cry it out for a few minutes, but they are not up to it and I guess I can't blame them. So, as you can imagine, church is very fulfilling for me. After fighting with the kids for an hour in Sacrament meeting to sit down and convince them that they do not need to go out for yet another drink of water, I get to go play with the little ones in nursery. Woot. But really, it's not so bad. I'm just a little crusty sometimes. ;)
I am doing well, just cooking this baby brother and trying to get enough sleep at night. We're preparing for another home birth and so I've casually started to pick up my Hypnobabies practices here and there, and I am remembering how much I love hypnosis! It is so relaxing and makes me feel so much more positive about everything. I have a great midwife this time who is actually going to let me follow her as a doula to a birth or two in December so I can finish up my certification before the baby is born. I feel really comfortable with her as she is very knowledgeable and confident in the process of birth, and besides that is just a really awesome lady.
I have a bunch more pictures to post about my St. George trip, Halloween, and my new little hat business I'm starting, so stay tuned. Other than that, we're all healthy and happy!

Murdock, Minnesota
Click to view video on CNN iReport.
Here is a short story of my family in America. I live in Murdock, Minnesota, population 303, in the same house my father was born. ( I might even be sleeping in the same room he was born in!)
The community was built around the railroad that passes through town. If you listen closely, you will hear a train in the video. It's loud even inside the house. I've heard the trains going through several times when I would call home to Murdock, no matter where in the world I was located!
My father's family is mainly from Ireland, Scotland and Luxembourg. My mother's family was from Germany and Prussia. My parented are now buried a short distance from the family house, along with a baby brother, and many of my ancestors that were pioneers in Minnesota.
I live in central Minnesota in a farming community my father's family has been a part of since the late 1800s, a colony of mainly poor Irish Catholics started by the late Archbishop John Ireland. If I remember right, about 2,000 Catholic families were part of the colony in a few settlements in the area.
I read at the Catholic church in De Graff, Minnesota, the people were selected to come to the colony by Archbishop Ireland for the purpose of helping each other and making a living. (I have to go back to read the description again!)
Also, I am related to many of the people in Murdock. Oh, we are all related somehow to the pioneers from the colony.
Minnesota was poor in jobs, but rich in land when they arrived.
We are still poor in jobs in Minnesota, with about 175,000 still looking for job in the state, and I am one of them.
One more thing. If my father's family did not come for the land in Minnesota, I would be saying, I am Canada! My Irish family first moved to Canada, then to the United States, as did many Irish immigrants. I'm sure we would be very proud to be in Canada. Cheer to Canada!

Antarctic nations face off again over sanctuary plans
|Nations pushing to create vast ocean sanctuaries off Antarctica that cover an area the size of India hope to overcome objections to their plans at talks this week in Australia.
Two proposals for huge no-fishing havens are on the table at the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) meeting in Hobart from October 23-November 1.
At stake, say environmentalists, are the world's last great ocean wildernesses, with waters that are home to some 16,000 known species, including whales, seals, albatrosses, penguins and unique species of fish.
As the world's fish stocks reel from decades of over-exploitation, trawlers have been venturing ever southward in search of new catches.
"It's time to act," Andrea Kavanagh, director of the Pew Environment Trust's Southern Ocean sanctuaries project, said ahead of the meeting.
"Countries can overcome the false starts of the past year by coming together this month to safeguard these vital areas."
One proposal, floated by Australia, France and the European Union, would protect 1.6 million square kilometres (640,000 sq miles) off East Antarctica, on the frozen continent's Indian Ocean side.
The other, from the United States and New Zealand, is to lock up 1.25 million square kilometres of the Ross Sea, the deep bay on Antarctica's Pacific side.
The combined area of 2.85 million square kilometres is a fraction smaller than India, more than five times larger than France and would fit Britain in 12 times.
If adopted, the sanctuaries would practically double the world's marine reserves overnight.
But to proceed, they need unanimous backing from all members of CCAMLR, a body comprising 24 countries plus the EU, which was set up in 1982 to oversee conservation of marine line in the Southern Ocean.
Russia stymied the plans at a special meeting in Germany in July, concerned the no-fishing areas were too extensive and questioning the legal right of CCAMLR -- pronounced "cam-lar" -- to set up such sanctuaries.
The Russians are believed to have dropped their argument about CCAMLR's legality and there is optimism the sanctuaries will receive support in Hobart.
However, it is understood there have been mixed signals from Russia amid "challenging" negotiations and it remains uncertain how Moscow's delegation will vote.
In a bid to overcome the objections, the backers of the Ross Sea sanctuary have reduced its area by more than 20 percent from the 1.6 million square kilometres they initially put forward.
New Zealand Prime Minister John Key said that revising the plan was probably the only way to get it approved
"We always knew there was going to be resistance from other parties who either have fishing interests there or believe that they would have fishing interests," he said.
Canberra-based think tank the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI) said the failed meeting in Germany showed "some fishing nations want to prioritise fishing access over conservation".
It described the move by the US and New Zealand to preemptively reduce the size of their proposal ahead of the Hobart meeting as a "baffling" negotiating tactic that played into the hands of the sanctuaries' opponents.
"It?s difficult to be positive about a good outcome for the Southern Ocean," ASPI concluded in a report released on Monday.
"As one of the last great wildernesses, it deserves special recognition, respect and commitment from those governments that have chosen to manage it."
Backers of the sanctuaries, some of whom have been working on the proposals for eight years, say they will not give up if the Hobart talks end in failure.

The Return of Joel Pineiro
By R.J. Anderson //
Few players in recent memory have witnessed the ups and downs of Joel Pineiro. Forever labeled as a guy with better stuff than results during his Seattle days, Pineiro eventually signed with the Red Sox as a free agent. Months later, the Red Sox dumped him to the Cardinals and the rest has been history. Under Dave Duncan's tutelage, Pineiro saw a dramatic increase in his groundball rate—from around 45-to-50 percent to over 60 percent in 2009. The Angels, fretting not of a one-year wonder, signed Pineiro to a two-year deal and the short righty has provided them with good service when healthy.
After missing some time in 2010 with an oblique injury, Pineiro started the 2011 season n the mend too with shoulder tightness. Over the weekend, Pineiro returned—much to the relief of the Angels, who had Matt Palmer in the rotation in his place—and looked a lot like his typical self. Facing a Rays lineup that is generally tough on righties, Pineiro went seven, allowing one run (on a Matt Joyce home run), walking one (intentionally), and fanning three. The Rays put 19 balls into play and 10 of them were of the groundball variety.
Of course, Pineiro isn't going to provide seven innings of one-run ball every time out, but over the last three seasons he has an aggregate earned run average of 4.07, a WHIP of 1.26, and a strikeout-to-walk ratio of 2.9. Add in Pineiro's average workload (172 innings) and that he tends to win double-digit games, and plucking him as an emergency starter at this point in the season seems like a decent get—particularly in deeper leagues or those of the AL-only variety.
The one caveat about Pineiro is his health. Shoulder tightness is nothing to play around with, but there within itself lies the beauty of grabbing Pineiro: the transaction cost is low enough to cut bait without worry.

Here's a sobering statistic from the Employee Benefit Research Institute to consider: 44% of all early boomer households are likely to run short of money in retirement. In fact, Allianz Life completed a study which found that 61% of respondents were more scared of outliving their assets than they were of dying.
There are a number of factors that contribute to this (including loss of a spouse, inflation/declining purchase power, taxation), but one factor that seems to be accelerating is longevity. Did you know:
- A healthy 65-year-old male has a 50% chance of living to the age of 85
- A healthy 65-year-old female has a 50% chance of reaching age 88
- A healthy couple, both 65, has a 50% probability of one spouse seeing age 92
- There is a 25% probability that one spouse will see age 97
If you retire in your 60s, that's 40 years without a paycheck.
The baby boomer generation is facing a far different retirement landscape than many of their predecessors did. In the good ol' days, 40 years of service guaranteed a defined benefits plan, plus Social Security. A retiree's savings served as a safety net.
Today, with the widespread loss of pensions and employer-sponsored retirement plans, it has become far more challenging to ensure a lifetime of financial security. People are relying on Social Security and their savings — and living longer, as well.
Start with a plan
A secure retirement doesn't just happen — it's the product of careful planning, strategic decisions and a disciplined approach.
If you wanted to build your dream home, how would you go about it? Generally speaking, you would start with a vision of what you wanted. From there, you would create a blueprint to work from, a master plan that takes all angles into account. It would be detailed, specific, measured, and carefully considered.
Retirement planning is a lot like building a fiscal house. It's a blueprint that ensures your future comfort, stability, and independence. And just like a physical structure, a carefully-constructed fiscal house is built to shelter you for those last 40 years — but only if you start with a solid foundation.
Mapping and building your fiscal foundation
The investment industry tends to direct a lot of attention to packaged products as the go-to solution for simple retirement planning, but people who rely too heavily on them can wind up with serious cracks in their fiscal foundation.
Comprehensive retirement planning takes into account a kaleidoscope of risk factors and strategies, investment vehicles and opportunities, and designs a blueprint that maximizes, protects and uses every possible dollar. Most comprehensive retirement planning includes discussions about:
- Social Security— A staggering percentage of all retiring families take it as soon as they can. Unless it's unavoidable, this is a mistake. Simply put, it weakens your fiscal foundation. By maximizing Social Security and using advanced strategies. Delaying the start of your Social Security benefits or by coordinating spousal benefits using file-and-suspend or restricted applications (link to other social security strategy blogs) can add years to your retirement income.
- Pension Strategies— For many, it makes sense to the straight pension option (income of the retiring worker) and use life insurance to provide for a surviving spouse. For others, it's better to take a joint payout to last lifetime of two people.
Annuities — You can create your own personal pension by investing in immediate or deferred annuities, which are widely available with guaranteed income benefits. These can reduce stress on investment portfolios and provide protection against the financial impact of longevity. (Because you don't want a bank account that expires before you do!)
Your transition into retirement can be confusing and complicated. Forty years without a paycheck can seem daunting and many of your decisions are essential, yet irreversible.
With the guidance of a retirement planning specialist, you can lay a solid fiscal foundation and assemble a framework of decisions that will eventually shelter you well into the future.
